Lend a helping hand…

I read a lot of blogs, and today I saw a post speaking of a fellow blogger who is really in need of some help right now. RT from Untwisted Vortex is in the Philippines. His wife is in the United States and is having some medical issues and needs to have surgery. RT is caught in a very tough predicament and he doesn’t have the money to make the flight home.

RT didn’t ask for help (had to be convinced actually), but with some prodding from Vic (a blogger who helps many other bloggers) and others, RT has installed a donation button on his site (upper left corner). With your help, along with many others, we can all get RT back to the United States to help his wife through the surgery.

Many, many other bloggers (including Vic and Darren Rowse of Problogger.net) have already posted about RT’s situation, and if you run a site, I would ask you to do the same. Please donate what you can to help RT. Large amounts of small donations really add up.

RT if you happen to read this post I hope that this, know that I’ll be praying for you and your family.

Update: RT has reached his needed goal, and removed the donate button. Thanks to everyone in the blogging community, readers and writers, who contributed!
